Pobal

What this means

• Pobal is an Irish public body that manages government and EU-funded programmes aimed at supporting communities and promoting social inclusion across Ireland.[source]
• It works on behalf of funding government departments, acting as a go-between that channels money and support to local agencies and community groups.[source]
• Its core mandate covers social inclusion, equality, and community development, meaning it targets supports at disadvantaged groups and areas.[source]
• Because Pobal distributes public and EU funds to local organisations, it plays a key accountability role in ensuring that money reaches intended communities.[source]
